Bike Shorts, A Bicyle Movie Film Festival

Join us for an evening that celebrates the joy of cycling at ANY age! On Wednesday, May 20th at 6:00pm, the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition is hosting its first annual Bike Shorts Film Festival at Rialto Cinemas in Sebastopol. This evening is a benefit to raise funds for the coalition’s work to support our bike education and advocacy work, and features films on cyclists from 5 years old to seniors. The Sebastopol Senior Center’s Cycling Without Age Team will also provide FREE trishaw rides before the screening.
